We failed you, Lupita

By Katia D'Artigues

To Nayeli Roldán, with all my affection, admiration and sorority

I am furious.

Yes, with this past session of the Senate and the absolute legislative chaos, in the first place. Because of what it means: if in Mexico -and not only in this six-year term- legislation is often passed, with exceptions, of course, out of tiredness and "ai' se va", now many things in this country with such a precarious balance of powers, held with pins, have been overturned.

But I am also furious because one of those 20 reforms that passed like mass-produced tortillas for a taco festival on that black night in the Senate is an essential reform. A reform to the Law on Access to a Life Free of Violence for Women (on which a group of civil society organizations, including Yo También, have been working for more than two years) would promote something important to protect the lives of the women who experience the most violence, those with disabilities. It consists of making the Justice Centers for women accessible to them, it's as simple as that.
